Lieberman Won't Rule Out GOP Change
Appearing Sunday on "Meet the Press," Lieberman told moderator Tim Russert bluntly that he won't rule out caucusing with the GOP, if circumstances warranted the move.Such a move, could throw control of the Senate to the Republicans. Democrats, with Lieberman voting with them, control the Senate 51-49. If Lieberman bolts, that divides the Senate 50-50, allowing Vice President Dick Cheney, as president of the Senate, to cast the deciding vote.
Lieberman made clear to Russert that he plans to stick with the Democrats.

Wouldnt it be lovely if after being sworn in Leiberman changes parties? Payback for being dumped by your own party comes in mysterious ways!
If he does it won't be right away.
All he needs to do is caucus with the Republicans. That would make the Senate 50-50 and give the deciding vote to Chaney.
Let's not forget Lieberman is a liberal.
